Recitals play an important part in the development of any musician. To be a really great performer, you have to have consistent and gradual performance experience. In addition to consistent performance experience, you need to have positive performance experiences.

Sometimes students are pushed to perform when they are not ready and this can lead to a negative performance experience. The effects of a negative performance experience can take years to undo.

All of the teachers at our Studio stress that recitals are optional. If you or your child would like to perform in our next recital, here's how it works:

1. Ask your teacher if you are ready to perform. If your teacher approves that you are ready for the recital, they will send you to the Front Desk. Deadline to sign up for the recital at the Front Desk: May 15.

2. One of the many benefits of being a RSM student is that we host recitals every 6 months (June and November). When you perform at the recital, you really want to prepare something wonderful to perform. It will make the recital experience a success for you that will enhance your development, instead of impeding it. If you or your child are not quite ready to perform, don't worry--there's another recital right around the corner-- no more than 6 months away. If you are interested in performing, please talk to your teacher asap.

3. The recitals are conveniently located in Rogers, at Word of Peace Church, on Saturday, June 6thOur recital location has a grand piano, wonderful acoustics and it's FREE for all of our students, their friends and families. We do not charge any admission or participation fees to our recitals, unlike other studios. You choose the time you would like to perform: 1pm, 2pm, 3pm, 4pm or 5pm. Please come to the front desk to sign up!

4. After each recital we host a small reception! We ask each family to bring a simple plate of cookies or bars.We are looking forward to another great round of recitals!
